What rollup does on Lint

AI agents invoke rollup to trigger actions in Lint. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call — builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

Why rollup needs a policy

The tool runs the Rollup bundler, which is an execution of an external process/tool. While primarily used for bundling JavaScript, it executes code and can trigger arbitrary plugin hooks and scripts defined in the project configuration. This places it in the Execute category. Severity is medium as misuse could execute malicious build scripts, but the blast radius is generally limited to the build environment.

From the tool's definition 'Runs Rollup bundler' — explicitly executes an external build tool process

Documented attack patterns abuse exactly the kind of access rollup gives an agent:

How to control rollup

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway — it sits between your AI agents and Lint, and nothing reaches the server without passing your rules. This is the rule we recommend for rollup:

policy.json
{
  "version": "1",
  "default": "deny",
  "tools": {
    "rollup": {
      "limits": [
        {
          "counter": "rollup_rate",
          "window": "minute",
          "max": 10,
          "scope": "grant"
        }
      ]
    }
  }
}

rollup stays usable, but rate-capped — a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

  1. Create a free account and register Lint — nothing to install.
  2. Add this policy — paste it, or build it visually.
  3. Point your MCP client (Claude, Cursor, anything) at your gateway URL.

Questions about rollup

What does the rollup tool do? +

Runs Rollup bundler and returns structured bundle output with errors and warnings. It is categorised as a Execute tool in the Lint MCP Server, which means it can trigger actions or run processes. Use rate limits and argument validation.

How do I enforce a policy on rollup? +

Register the Lint MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for rollup: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Lint. Nothing to install.

What risk level is rollup? +

rollup is a Execute tool with high risk. Execute tools should be rate-limited and have argument validation enabled.

Can I rate-limit rollup? +

Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the rollup rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.

How do I block rollup completely? +

Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for rollup. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.

What MCP server provides rollup? +

rollup is provided by the Lint MCP server (Dave-London/Pare). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.

Enforce policy on every Lint tool call.

Start from Lint, add the rest of your stack, and see everything your agents can call. Then put policy on all of it.
